Advocacy Principles


We believe that all Maine children should have the economic necessities of life; that they should be safe healthy, nurtured emotionally and intellectually by a family and a community; and that they have the opportunity to reach their potential.

The bottom line:

1. Measure everything by how it affects children

2. Children have the right to:


  • a safe environment (a family environment to grow up in);
  • free and appropriate education; love, respect, and understanding;
  • full opportunity for play and recreation;
  • health care;
  • the opportunity to develop individual abilities, and learn to be useful members of society


3. Create economic policies and programs that consciously and specifically address family needs.
